Installing and Using BBGConfig
USB PC Remote Control User Interface for
BBG-EMDE-AES75 and BBG-EMDE-AES110
BBGConfig is a program that allows output audio routing and source selection, as well as
other user functions, via a user GUI app that runs on a PC and communicates settings to the
USB-connected BlueBox™ device. After settings are performed, the USB connection can be
removed if desired, with the BlueBox™ device retaining these settings (even after power-
down of the device) unless later changed. BBGConfig avails many more control functions than
that available using only the BlueBox™ device DIP switches.
Note: • BBGConfig can currently be installed and used only on the following Windows
platforms:
®
- Windows
Vista
- Windows

• BBGConfig is usable only with the following BlueBox™ models: BBG-DE-AA,
BBG-EM-AA, BBG-EMDE-AES.
Installing BBGConfig on PC
Note: Do not connect BlueBox™ unit to PC at this point.
1
Download the BBGConfig file to your PC. Go to the Support>Firmware Downloads link
at www.cobaltdigital.com and download the install file at BBGConfig App in the
BlueBox™ section, then follow the instructions below.
2. Double-click on the file to start and run the Installer. Follow prompts to install in desired
folder and complete the installation. After installation is complete, click Close to exit.
BBGConfig is now ready to connect to compatible BlueBox™ device via a USB
connection.

BBGConfig to be used for control instead of the other DIP switches.
4. Connect the BlueBox™ device to the PC using a USB cable (supplied). Open
BBGConfig; the device now appears in the app as shown in the example.
If No Units Connected is displayed, click the Rescan button in the upper right corner of
